YES! AMA has confirmed it! We are the Largest Women's Off-Road racing program in the United States.

Who knew that there were so many women out there that wanted to join the boys on the track? I’ve been working on ideas for three years on how to bring a women’s program to Northern California’s District 36 Hare Scrambles and Enduro events. It’s always hard to start new ideas in a group that has been doing things the same way for so long. It was a rough start but has been well worth the work it took to get here.

This year we started with roughly 20 women that were coming and going to this race and that race. Now in September of 2004 we had a record of 90 women racing our hare scrambles. You will always see at least 70 youth/women riders at all our district hare scrambles racing right along with the boys. Keep in tune with this website to see any updates or upcoming events for the District 36 Moose Women’s Off-Road Racing Series.

11.1.16 Cross Country "Woman" Class Women may choose to race as a Sportsman rider as stated in rule 4.4 or as a 'Woman" rider. For the "Woman" class the following guidelines will be used:

11.1.16.1 Sportsman “Woman” advancement “Woman” class riders will advance from “C” Sportsman to “B” Sportsman based upon their finishing position in the “C” Sportsman overall results. “Woman” class riders will advance from “B” Sportsman to “A” Sportsman based upon their finishing position in the “B” Sportsman overall results. When women riding in the “Woman” class do not ride the same course as the Sportsman riders and cannot be listed on the Sportsman overall results, no advancement points will accrue. Advancement points will accumulate from year to year.

If fewer than 100 “C” riders entered the event, only “Woman” class riders finishing in the top 10 “C” Sportsman overall positions will receive advancement points as follows:

If 100 to 200 “C” riders entered the event, any “Woman” class rider finishing in the top 20 “C” Sportsman overall positions will receive advancement points as follows:

If greater than 200 “C” riders entered the event, any “Woman” class riders finishing in the top 40 “C” Sportsman overall results will receive advancement points as follows:

If greater than 200 “B” riders entered the event, any “Woman” class riders finishing in the top 40 “B” Sportsman overall results will receive advancement points as follows:

First time racers, to be advanced to “Woman C” at the Woman Steward’s discretion. Beginner Division 2 (runs on the youth course)

For Beginning Women who don’t want to be advanced to “Woman C.” 11.1.16.4 Advancement within the “Woman” class will be calculated following rule 7.1.5. “Woman” Beginner Division 1 and 2 will be advanced to “Woman C” rider at the Woman Steward’s discretion.

11.1.16.5 Cards (Proof of Classification) Stickers showing the current “Woman” classification will be issued by the Woman Steward. The sticker is to be applied to the back of the District 36 membership card. [i.e. “Woman B,” although that rider holds a “C” Sportsman card.]

11.1.16.6 Trophies: If the promoting club elects to have a "Woman" class, they will award one or more trophies for that class in accordance with rule 7.2.

11.1.16.7 Points to determine District 36 awards will be given as follows: A. 1 point for starting the race. B. 1 point for finishing. Finishing is defined as completing 50% of the laps of the top Super Senior "C" riders and crossing the finish line after the checkered flag. C. 2 points for the overall "Woman" winner if more than 1 entry. D. 1 point for each "Woman" rider thereafter.

11.1.16.8 District 36 Awards - There will be “A,” “B” & “C” "Woman" awards only if there are enough riders in each classification to justify an award. All awards and classifications will be at the Cross Country Steward's discretion and can be formally protested. District 36 "Woman" awards will be of the same type as those awarded to the top "B" and "C" Sportsman riders.

11.1.16.9 Clubs are encouraged to start the “Woman B” class in the front or mid-pack of the “C” Sportsman race. This provides an incentive and encouragement for women to continue racing the “Woman” classes, instead of switching to engine-displacement classes for a better start. Clubs are encouraged to start the “Woman A” class at the back of the “B” Sportsman race.

11.1.16.10 Any variation of these rules must be approved prior to racing by the steward.
